			An Elven archeological expedition went to Maelshyve in 5120 and discovered a massive blackened and warped rhimar-edged waraxe. Under the direction of the Argent Mirror, the expedition opened to volunteers of all races. To date, two artifacts have been found: a dented and tarnished invar buckle (seemingly last worn by a dwarf) and a rotting leather harness last worn by a pony (suggesting that the pony's rider was a dwarf or halfling).
